WHAT IS CROSSFIT?

A Day at CrossFit Tidal Wave

The Tidal Wave Difference

GETTING STARTED

With constantly varied movements and activities CrossFit® is not just another boring gym fad, CrossFit® is a state of mind, a philosophy and a lifestyle.

It doesn’t matter what shape or size you are because CrossFit® coaches people of all ages and abilities to improve their overall fitness in a fun and challenging environment. Get started with our No Sweat Intro Session specifically designed for beginners and you will soon become a CrossFit® addict!

Step One:

No Sweat Intro

Sign up for a “No sweat intro” today! We will talk about what your fitness goals are in addition to helping you pick the right program tailored specifically for you. Part of what makes Tidal Wave different from every other gym out there is the personal attention we give in talking about nutrition, goal setting and lifestyle. We never pressure anyone to join, don’t do contracts and truly want it to be a good fit for everyone.

Step Two:

1 on 1, Foundations, or Group Class

After you have done your No Sweat Intro we can decide the best plan of action for you. It may be 1 on 1 through Personal Training, attending our Foundation’s Course, or participating in the “Beginner” version of our Group classes. We can not emphasize enough that form comes before intensity so we are cautious and extremely thorough when prescribing fitness plans. Progressing too fast is a recipe for injury.

Step Three:

General Classes

Hungry for more? If you completed the Trial class then you are ready for regular CrossFit® classes or our Personal Training Program. Visit our Pricing page for great membership options.

SHAUN McCRARY

Head Coach

After already being a Personal Trainer for 8 yrs I began my CrossFit journey in 2006, following a conversation and a workout with a friend who had been training with the Navy SEALs. This was my first exposure to CrossFit, and looking back now, I had no idea how this conversation would positively impact my life and the lives of many people around me. After getting CrossFit Level 1 Certified and trying the workouts, I was hooked. So much so that I knew I wanted to help work at a CrossFit affiliate and share my knowledge and experience. Now my passion in life is to share my enthusiasm for a healthy and fulfilling life with as many people as possible!

After teaching CrossFit full time for almost 10 yrs now I can say it has been one of the most challenging yet rewarding endeavors I have ever taken on.

TAYLOR WILSON

Head Coach (Galveston Weightlifting)

After taking an interest in Olympic Weightlifting in 2009 and self-coaching for about a year I stumbled upon CrossFit when looking at fitness programs that incorporated Olympic lifts. In 2010 I stepped into a CrossFit box for the first time and I fell in love instantly. After driving nearly 45 minutes to the nearest CrossFit box for a couple years, I partnered with Shaun to finally bring CrossFit to Galveston. We’ve now brought another first to Galveston, the first official USA Weightlifting club, Galveston Weightlifting!

Even though we’re a relatively new weightlifting club I’ve enjoyed some great success as head coach of Galveston Weightlifting.
